The Casa Socio-Environmental Fund is at Climate Week 2024! 🌎

From September 19 to 29, we will be represented in New York by Maria Amália Souza and Maha Akamine, who will participate in discussions about the importance of community philanthropy and the leadership of local communities in actions to mitigate the effects of global climate change.

Climate Week NYC, organized by the Climate Group, is one of the largest annual climate events, featuring over 600 events and activities on the topic. The aim of the event is to foster discussions on how to promote climate action swiftly and equitably. 

This event is held annually in partnership with the United Nations General Assembly and is organized in coordination with the United Nations and the city of New York.
